Link Worker (2) (16/672)

Dunmuir Park

£28,815 - £30,597

The Learning Disability Service provided by Dumfries and Galloway’s Health & Social Care Partnership supports young people and adults who have a range of needs including learning/ physical disabilities and autism spectrum conditions.

Dunmuir Park provides long-term care and support to adults living in their own homes within a modern, purpose-built development in Castle Douglas. The Rowans Respite units provide short stay care and support to adults. As a Link Worker, you will be part of a team committed to delivering high quality person-centered services putting Health & Social Care Standards at the heart of all we do. Reporting to a Support Coordinator (Key Worker), you will provide direct care and support to people in their homes and in accessing community opportunities to develop skills, promote independence, improve health and wellbeing and participate in adult learning/work-related activities. You will contribute towards personal planning and reviews, team meetings and recording of electronic information.

In this post you will be required to work 36 hours per week 52.14 weeks per year. Evening, weekend, Waken night and sleep-in work may be required: however, we are keen to promote staff wellbeing and are currently working on creating a pattern of weekend on/off working and work patterns to support our employees to achieve a good work/life balance.

You must hold a qualification at SVQ 2 in Health & Social Care or equivalent (Band 5). If you do not hold a qualification at SVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care or equivalent but meet the other essential criteria on the Person Specification, you may still be eligible for interview for a Link Worker position at Entry Level Band 4 (£14.27 per hour) whilst you undertake and/or complete the necessary qualification. You will receive regular supervision and support for your professional development in this role with opportunities for learning and training.

You must have some experience of paid or unpaid work with people with additional support needs, for example learning/physical disability, older adults or mental health conditions. You must be a team player, committed to supporting and enabling people to live fulfilled lives and to supporting service improvements. An ability to use basic computer applications is desirable but training can be given.

This post is considered as Regulated Work with Vulnerable Children and Protected Adults, under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. From 28 February 2011, preferred candidates will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG scheme update check prior to formal offer of employment being made by Dumfries and Galloway Council.

Applicants who have been resident outside the UK within the last 5 years, if offered a position, in addition to a Disclosure Scotland Check, will be required to provide a completed police record check from the police authority in the country or countries in which they were resident.

Requirements

A current driving licence is an essential requirement of this post. However, if you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driving licence consideration will be given if alternative transport can be arranged.

With an exciting benefits package, working for Dumfries and Galloway Council supports you to invest in your own health and wellbeing. Employees have access to our bespoke Vivup platform with over 800 discounts on everyday essentials from top UK retailers, restaurants, utility providers and more. Employees also get access to membership of The Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) exclusive discounts from local businesses, a Cycle-to-Work scheme, financial support from My Money Matters, and guidance from our trained Wellbeing Champions.

Here at Dumfries and Galloway Council we are committed to equality, diversity and equal opportunity with our values, which include treating everyone with dignity, fairness and respect, driving us to tackle inequality. We are looking for people that can bring different perspectives and experiences and especially welcome applications from those who are underrepresented in our organisation.
